Dataset: Inertial coupling of the hummingbird body in the flight mechanics of an escape maneuver.

This dataset contains the full-body kinematics of the two hummingbirds used in the study. The kinematics were reconstructed from digitized high-speed videos of flight experiment in Cheng et al (Journal of Experimental Biology 219 (22) (2016) 3518–3531.) Additional data can be found in the supplementary materials of the article.


## Description of the data and file structure

The dataset is organized as follows:

1) Under ./Rivolis

- .csv file that contains x,y,z coordinates of body and wings marker points (total 21 points) digitized from three high speed videos.
- domainTranslation.xls file that contains x,y,z shift of the domain.

2) Under ./Rivolis/mesh3d_files

- Sequence of marker files at all time steps for the bird; each contains the unstructured mesh of the wings/body, including connectivity, xyz coordinates and uvw velocities of each node. 

3) Under ./Black-chinned

- .csv file that contains x,y,z coordinates of body and wings marker points (total 21 points) digitized from three high speed videos.
- domain_trans.dat contains x,y,z shift of the domain.

4) Under ./Black-chinned/mesh3d_files

- Sequence of marker files at all time steps for the bird; each contains the unstructured mesh of the wings/body, including connectivity, xyz coordinates and uvw velocities of each node.

5) Under ./

- .pdf file to illustrate the position of marker points on the bird's body and wings.
